Sugaring is a term used to describe a hair removal method using a viscous sugar paste. This sugar paste consists only of natural ingredients: sugar, water, and lemon juice are usually the main ingredients. Sugaring is not a new invention, but a proven hair removal method that has been around for centuries. This technique originated in the Orient, where this particularly natural method of hair removal is also offered in traditional steam baths.
How does sugaring treatment work?
Right at the beginning, it's important to prepare your skin for the upcoming treatment: This means cleansing and degreasing it. Now you can warm the paste to body temperature and apply it to your skin with your fingers, against the direction of hair growth. The paste can then be removed with a few sharp, jerky movements in the direction of hair growth. These steps are repeated until the desired result is achieved and all hair has been removed.
Is sugaring painful?
Not really! Sugaring is by no means comparable to conventional waxing, as with this method, the hair is pulled out in the direction of growth, rather than against it. The treatment usually becomes more pleasant each time, as you become accustomed to the process and find it very soothing.
What are the benefits of sugaring?
Due to its natural ingredients, sugaring is particularly suitable for allergy sufferers or those with sensitive skin. Those suffering from symptoms such as acne or psoriasis should use natural products in their daily routine.
In addition, this hair removal method can be used on any part of the body because it is particularly gentle on the skin. Furthermore, the sugar paste can be easily applied anywhere. Sugaring can be used on hair as short as 3 mm. This hair removal method lasts up to four weeks, and with regular treatment, hair growth may even slow down.
Another advantage of this hair removal technique is that the sugar paste also has an exfoliating effect when applied. Dead skin cells are also removed during the treatment. This results in the skin feeling particularly smooth and soft after sugaring.
